Leave the valve handle in the “RELEASE” position (power off).
CAUTION: Do not set the lifter against any surfaces which could soil or damage a
vacuum pad.
Use the hoisting equipment to gently lower the lifter onto a stable support; then detach the
hoisting equipment hook from the lift bail.
If the lifter is transported to another location, use the original shipping container and secure the
lifter so as to protect each vacuum pad and all other components from damage while in transit.
Storing the Lifter
Use the cover supplied to keep each vacuum pad clean.
!!-CE-!! In accordance with CE Standard EN 13155, the lifter is designed to rest on relatively
horizontal surfaces without tipping over. To store the lifter in this way, set the lifter with each
pad facing downward on a clean, smooth, flat surface. Then lower the lift bar to a horizontal
orientation and place a support under the lift bail.
Charge the battery completely when placing it in storage and at six-month intervals thereafter
(see MAINTENANCE: B

). After charging the battery, disconnect the electrical
connectors uniting the battery to the battery charger and to the vacuum generating system, in
order to minimize power drainage. Preferred temperatures for storing the battery are 32° to 70°
Fahrenheit [0° to 21° Celsius]. Higher temperatures require the battery to be charged more
frequently. Storage at temperatures above 100° Fahrenheit [38° Celsius] should be avoided.
